Hi there,

looking for some insight into a task that has been assigned to me. We have two Exchange 2013 servers. I've been asked to move the both VM to another site. If anyone has gone through this process, do you have any suggestions or tips

Off the top of my head

Shutdown VMs
Export both to External drive
Import both to HyperV and assign new IP
Add the new site DNS
Change the Public IP in MX f

Questions

Do I have do change anything to ensure exchange working? The new IP that will be assigned is bound to new site in AD.

Anything I've missed in the steps brainstormed above?

Thank you to all who reply.

    Ensure the new IPs are allowed outbound and inbound access through the firewall and are Nat-ed correctly to any external IP for your Exchange server for client access on port 443 ( other than the mx)

    Otherwise, your plan should work.
